Book Synopsis
Society and Solitude, published in 1870, was the first collection of essays Emerson had put into press since The Conduct of Life 10 years earlier. This edition is based on holograph manuscripts and published sources. The text incorporates corrections and revisions he recorded in both sources—thus restoring for the reader the text he actually wrote.
